Pumpklin wall hanging photo



You know how you start a new project at a quilt workshop, bring the project home and put it on your sewing table to finish. But, usually there's another project in process that has to be finished first and another and another ends up being started while the workshop project gets forgotten. It's possible that even more recent workshops projects might join the one that's waiting on the table. Their position gets shifted. Pieces fall on the floor only to be retrieved. The most telling development is when the project actually gets put in a drawer or box.

Well, this year, thanks to Sharon, my guild has embarked on a UFO challenge. I've finished two of them. Here's the latest. It's a fall wall hanging from a Frieda Anderson workshop. It was finished on time to hang up for Halloween.

Thanks Debbie,

Frieda hand dyes the fabrics. I had actually brought fabrics of my own but when I saw hers, it was no contest. Some people used their own printed cottons. The effect was more folk art. I couldn't resist her fabrics.

After that a group of us started doing our own hand dyes. I haven't been able to get her brilliant gradations. They all turned a bit muddy for me. Haven't dyed in a while but it's lots of fun.

The shading in the hand dyed fabric makes the pumpkins look realistic and the background is gorgeous. I love the colors. Well done, Ginny.

Such beautiful hand dyes. Maybe I can get to some of my ufo's once I finish the project I am working on that I started in the middle of the other project I was doing, in the middle of the prior project being done, part way through ......
